I know what you mean. I'm 16 years old and have De Morsier Syndrome. I am at a VERY high risk for retianal detachment at any time at my life. I know how it is to live in fear. Yes, there are days when I am terrified about it and other days I have a peace that its going to be okay. Just remember, blindness isn't the end of the world. You can go on and live. i know that it sounds scary but there is help. Go to a rehab centre or talk to someone you trust. Feel free to e-mail me at so we can talk.

The first two replies really have it write. You may hope for the best but you need to be prepared for the worst. Get your help now. Learn to cope, this is not the end of anything unless you let it be the end.
